If anyone's whining, it's the USC fans. USC would have been stuck at #3 in the BCS regardless of how OU fared on Saturday. Of the top three teams (and everyone else in Division 1-A for that matter) Oklahoma was the only team to win all the games it HAD to win. The top spot in the BCS was locked up three weeks ago. Their players watch ESPN just like the rest of us and their minds (judging by the way they played, anyway) were already in New Orleans.
Sure, the BCS stinks. But all teams knew (or should have known) the rules of the BCS at the beginning of the season. There is no requirement that a team win its conference to play in the national championship game. If there was such a rule, we may have seen a different result in Kansas City. Or maybe not. We'll never know.
This is not DU. When there is a law that we don't like, we don't rush to the Ninth Circuit to have some judge rewrite it or throw it out. We work through the legislature and write a new law. Hopefully that new law will be a playoff system. But, sadly, I think we'll see Mack Brown win a national championship before that happens. ;^)
